Thanks @berniesanders and @aoc for the opportunity to speak today about how corporations and billionaires rig our economy and our democracy for their own profits and power. #copol

Critical post on the Netflix-Warner Bros. merger
The Netflix-Warner deal is a horror movie. And not like OG Scream or Sinners. This is like the Human Centipede part 23. On a long haul flight. In the middle seat. 1. The price of getting Netflix with no ads was $7.99 a decade ago. Now it is $17.99 (inflation would make it

He’s with his newborn child. And has spent his career fighting to give workers paid leave, childcare, and the dignity to not just struggle to get by, but be able to spend precious time with the people they love.
TX38 Democrat Greg Casar is currently on a 29-missed votes streak, having last voted on November 12th, and CA14 Democrat Eric Swalwell is on a 21-missed votes streak, last voting on November 18th.

Grateful to @SenWarren for lifting up my essay with @sethfrotman. Those with wealth and power are trampling our rights with impunity. That’s one of the most pressing challenges of our time & why I’m running for Attorney General. Gift link here: https://t.co/k2IgsmCkBQ

Mandatory arbitration, underfunded enforcement and corporate malfeasance have eroded Americans’ trust in institutions. It’s time for government to fight back.
Americans know the economy is rigged against them. President Trump is doubling down by allowing big corporations to rip people off with impunity.

I’m pleased to see that @AFergusonFTC is launching a rulemaking on illegal rental fees. And I’m delighted that the old conventional wisdom — that @FTC can’t write rules protecting the public — is dead and buried. I hope Click to Cancel is next!

Yesterday's @daveyseligman @sethfrotman joint ties together what Dems are fighting about in 2025. It doesn't matter what world we *want to build* if no one trusts us to deliver. The entire right-wing courts project was designed to exploit this. TLDR: No Justice, No Democracy.
We can talk all day about abundance and populism, but none of that will matter until Americans believe that democracy, law, and government are worth fighting for. There is no solving the crisis of democracy, without prioritizing the crisis of enforcement.

“It is hard to blame people for losing faith in a legal system that has allowed the powerful to trample their rights with impunity.” The @daveyseligman x @sethfrotman braintrust at it again.
“For too many Americans, the economy has become an unaffordable racket in which corporate interests seem always to have their way.” Great read from @daveyseligman (CO’s next AG) on the need to put the law back on the side of working people. https://t.co/8o7T6u7SdW

"It’s about making the law real in people’s lives, turning long ignored promises written into our statutes into protections people can actually feel." Must-read from @sethfrotman & @daveyseligman on how pro-consumer enforcement can restore Americans' faith in the rule of law👇

@sethfrotman and @daveyseligman represent the best in public and private enforcement against corporate coercion and for economic freedom. One core piece of a government that works for working people is holding power to account and proving whose side we’re on. Take a read.

I believe Tyson's decision to shut down its Lexington, Nebraska plant instead of selling it is a PLOY to manipulate cattle and beef markets in violation of our antitrust laws. 🧵

I wrote an essay for the @nytimes with the inimitable @sethfrotman about one of the most pressing challenges of our time — a challenge I’ve dedicated my career to taking on & the reason I’m running for Colorado Attorney General. /1 🧵 https://t.co/ry24QXTQWH

People aren’t going to start believing in democracy again until the rules of that democracy start working for them - and protecting them from the powerful. A terrific essay this morning from @sethfrotman and Colorado’s next AG @daveyseligman

Attorneys general have immense authority to make the law real in people’s daily lives — going after forced arbitration and other legal scams that create elite impunity, scaling enforcement, and using cross-cutting tools across consumer protection, antimonopoly, civil rights… /13
